Towards a Living Jordan River: An Environmental Flows Report on the Rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River

This new environmental flows study provides a first-ever regional study
of the Lower Jordan River undertaken by Jordanian, Israeli and Palestinian
experts.

It identifies the current conditions of the Lower
Jordan River and proposes a regional strategy to rehabilitate the
historic river.

This study concludes that 400-600 million cubic meters (mcm) of
water are needed to rehabilitate the Lower Jordan
River.

FoEME recommends that Israel allocate 220 mcm, Syria 100 mcm and Jordan 90 mcm of
water to meet this rehabilitation goal. In addition, FoEME recommends that
Palestine, as a riparian to the river, receive a
fair share of the Lower Jordan River's water
resources.
